Oh, did the card say you had to get an inspection? I know they have the mobile stations and you just have to pass by them twice and pass. Of course if you fail passing them I don't think they tell you.

Is an inspection different than an emissions test? I recall only having to do the emissions test. They don't even look under the hood - just hook a monitor in your exhaust, check error codes, and drive it on the dyno thing. Simple.

Cool. I knew they ran the exhaust but didn't know about the other specs. From what I've heard they do a once-over visual inspection. Thanks for the info. It was pretty self-explanatory the last time I did, but I did some engine work since and didn't know if that would affect anything...

Dang, with my post count and that question, I feel like I'm on Passat World. HAHA!

Their visual inspection will be for emission control equipment. Big things are the CAT and muffler restriction filler neck for the gas, stuff like that. They couldn't possibly know that I'm running a 4-bar FPR versus a 3...way too many cars out there to know that detail. They'll just be looking for the big, obvious things...and smoke too.
